Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show
Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.

Poland is investigating potential connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Polish victims, as well as possible involvement of Russian intelligence in his activities. The Polish government has set up a special task force.

Leslie Wexner is one of the 10 co-conspirators named by the FBI during the 2019 arrest of Epstein.
He gave Epstein millions of dollars and the $70 million NYC townhouse.
Leon Black gave Epstein over $170 million.
Both men are alive.
How come they've never been asked to testify?

The Epstein files mean Trump is revisiting his idea that nuclear weapons are the ultimate phallic toy, excuse me, distraction.
It is interesting that Trump is a bigger and more disturbing freak than any character in Dr. Strangelove.

DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

We need to retake the Senate, House, and Presidency. When we have that, we need a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United. It would be interesting to see how many Democrats would vote against their deep pocket corporate owners, I mean donors.
